DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMING
Abstract
A development is defined as a set of integrated activities A = ai which yield an end product, and between pairs of which a set of relations R = Rij exist, these latter expressing technological interference, etc. Examples include hydroelectric, metropolitan and other largescale construction projects, and the development of new products and weapon systems. The product, upon completion, yields revenue or other return such as defense capability. A development may contain subdevelopments which, upon completion, yield a partial return. Completion times are controllable, within limits and at a cost, by controlling the capacity assigned to each activity. Mathematical models are formulated and solved, taking account of different viewpoints (owner, contractor, etc.), incomplete imformation on costs and revenues, and stochastic behavior of development plants.
